Do you believe in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ? Why or why not.?

Answer 1

I do and here is why.

Latter-day Saints, unlike many other Christian traditions, do not accept the definitions of God as created by the Greek philosophers.

Our beliefs about the Godhead "are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]." (The Holy Bible, Ephesians 2:20)

Using the apostolic and prophetic teachings as our base, Latter-day Saints believe in the Jesus who was the preexistent Word of the Father; that was the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; that was the God of Abraham , Isaac, and Jacob; that was the Only Begotten Son of God who was born to the virgin Mary in the town of Bethlehem; that was baptized by John; that healed the sick and raised the dead, that walked on water, multiplied loaves and fishes, and performed many other miracles; that set a perfect example for mankind to emulate and that all men and women are commanded to follow his teachings and example in all things.

We believe that Jesus suffered in the garden and on the cross, until he finally died as a willing sacrifice for mankind in order to bring about an infinite atonement through the shedding of his blood. After his death, we believe that he was physically resurrected and that he ascended into the heavens, from which he will come at the end of this world to establish his kingdom upon the earth and eventually to judge both the living and the dead. We believe Jesus is and was the Holy Messiah, the Savior and Redeemer of the world and all those who will follow him. Finally, we believe in the Jesus who is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations.

Now that we have established the identity of the Jesus Christ in whom Latter-day Saints believe, may I ask who is the Jesus in whom you believe?

A dictionary defines a Christian as "one who professes belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus," and "one who lives according to the teachings of Jesus." Thus two characteristics identify Christians: First, they profess belief in the Savior, and second, they act in harmony with the Savior's teachings. Faithful members of the Church called Saints or Latter-day Saints, qualify clearly in both characteristics. In our belief and our action, we demonstrate that "Jesus Christ Himself (is) the chief corner stone" of our faith.

Answer 2

I believe in it. I have seen their buildings and spoken to some of the members. I am certain that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints actually exists.

Answer 3

No I do not believe in the LDS (Mormonism)

The doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) are very interesting. Most of the 'odd' ones are not initially taught to potential converts. But they should be. Instead, "they are revealed later as one matures and gains the ability to accept them." The LDS Church tries to make its official doctrines appear Christian but what underlies those Christian sounding terms is far from Christian in meaning.

This is the way LDS view God.
God used to be a man on another planet, Mormon Doctrine, p. 321. Joseph Smith, Times and Seasons, Vol 5, pp. 613-614; Orson Pratt, Journal of Discourses, Vol 2, p. 345, Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p. 333.)
"The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s..." (D&C 130:22).
God is in the form of a man, (Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 3.)
"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!!! . . . We have imagined that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea and take away the veil, so that you may see" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345
God the Father had a Father, (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 476; Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 19; Milton Hunter, First Council of the Seventy, Gospel through the Ages, p. 104-105.)
God resides near a star called Kolob, (Pearl of Great Price, pages 34-35; Mormon Doctrine, p. 428.)
God had sexual relations with Mary to make the body of Jesus, (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 4, p. 218, 1857; vol. 8, p. 115.) - This one is disputed among many Mormons and not always 'officially' taught and believed. Nevertheless, Young, the 2nd prophet of the Mormon church taught it.
"Therefore we know that both the Father and the Son are in form and stature perfect men; each of them possesses a tangible body . . . of flesh and bones." (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 38).

Answer 5

The Mormons base their beliefs on the revelations of a man of dubious reputation. Supposedly, his revelations came to him through an angel by the name of Moroni. The system of belief birthed out of those revelations is markedly different from the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Gospels, and the Epistles. Paul even warns the Galatians of strange doctrines revealed in such ways.

1800 years before Jospeh Smith was born, Paul writes:

Answer 6

Yes I do. If you want to put it to the test, read the Book Of Mormon, and after reading it with the faith. God will tell you if it is true or not when you pray about it. No one should join a church if they do not believe or know the truth.

Answer 7

It's leader made some pretty wild claims including he was the restored Levitical priesthood and that made him boss beyond question with multiple wives and all the other trappings that go with leading people in a cult-like atmosphere.
One of the major claims that he made in the Book of Mormon is that the Indians are the direct descendants of Israelites and Eqyptians. DNA evidence thoroughly proves that the Indians are from Asia and that no Hebrew or Egyptian ancestry exists in them.

Answer 8

They're a cult, not a religion. They have the book of Mormon which they elevate higher than the Bible. They don't believe in the Divinity of Christ. They believe that their members will eventually become gods. Satan's lie in the Garden is alive and well in that group.

Answer 9

I believe it exists and I thoroughly enjoy intellectual discussion with them (because unlike other people they base their opinions off of actual logic and encounters with different views). They ae nice, smart and dedicated to what they believe. But, I do not believe more than a word of their Book of Mormon nor Christianity as I find it to be a corrupted truth (it may not be what you want to hear but it is what I believe and I'm entitled to that). Peace and blessings. Are you Mormon btw?

Answer 10

ok, yes i believe it's true, because like most people, I question everything. I have come to know that it's true, and I've prayed and Prayed a ton. I read the book of mormon, and asked Heavenly Father if it was true. I Felt this burning knowledge in me, and I knew that it was true. I have never been so sure of anything in my life.
